    I actually found out that the Bumblebee Millipede is native to South America so that might help you since it's native to the same ecosystem. I actually purchased them because they invaded Florida and I have a Southeastern setup I'm using them in.

    COOL! Not that they invaded Florida, but that you know about them!
    Let me know what you think about them.

    I would love to have some stick insects, but I have no idea how they will react to bromeliads, as in, LUNCH! That cannot happen.
    Any info on these or other inverts that may work, would be helpful.

    Nothing that would predate upon frogs, mourning geckos, fish, snails, froglets, etc.

    Thank you in advance!

    There is so much to do and I am doing my best to orchestrate my time to keep up with everything...it is difficult, I hope everyone is cool with that? I am trying.

    I started working on the false bottom for the new 75 gallon tank and then I thought about making a rocky monolith towards the front ot The Rainforest Exhibit OR in the middle of the 75 gallon Vivarium, which will be a quarantine Tank for tree frogs or just to propagate plants. Not sure yet.

    Anyway, here are some pics of what I've done so far. I will still carve the monolith a bit more...needs more cracks, crevices, etc.

    Note: I will put a plastic tile OVER the high density foam false bottom, to allow for easy water drainage. I have so much of this foam, I am using it for everything! It is structurally strong, easily manipulated, just all around useful!
